The Myrrh Sessions – 2013

Shoplinks:

01. Myrrh I

02. Narcotica

In this mirror of time you see that shineAnd walk on the line and walk on in timeWake up and see your light will dieThere’s no need for anger there’s no need for blameAgain, again this life will changeDark doors closing, I wish myself away

In this mirror of time you see that faceAnd walk on the line and walk on in timeWake up and see your light will chasePut you down ever and ever againAgain, again this song will changeDark doors closing, I wish myself away

In this mirror of time you see that ghostAnd walk on the line and walk on in timeWake up and see your light will boastThere’s no need for shelter, you’ll still face the painAgain, again this Love will changeDark doors closing, I wish myself away

I wish myself awayI wish myself awayI wish myself away

This is in your brain once and nevermoreThis is in your brain once and nevermoreThis is in your brain once and nevermoreThis is in your brain once and nevermore

03. Rumours

When I’m here I will say itI will say it, do itSpreading rumours and I ... and I hopeWhen I fear when I know when I see you in this allTelling rumours - remind me I hopeAnd your embarrassed smile for a whileAnd I meet the foreign hero spreading rumoursAnd his wrong empathy

When the better takes it, don’t mindAnd I’m feeling, falling proudAnd I see the maze of small liesYou shame me, just go

Should it ever break me, don’t mindAnd I’m feeling, falling proudAnd I’m lost in the maze of small liesYou shame me, just go

The pale-blue lake behind in my dream and I knowYou’d better never telling rumours again - yes you doI’ll never take your smile for a whileAnd I’m creeping forward near you telling rumoursYes I know, yes I see

When the better takes it, don’t mindAnd I’m feeling, falling proudAnd I see the maze of small liesYou shame me, just go

Should it ever break me, don’t mindAnd I’m feeling, falling proudAnd I’m lost in the maze of small liesYou shame me, just go

When the better takes it, don’t mindAnd I’m feeling, falling proudAnd I see the maze of small liesYou shame me, just go

06. Listening Wind

Mojique sees his village from a nearby hillMojique thinks of days before americans cameHe sees the foreigners in growing numbersHe sees the foreigners in fancy housesHe thinks of days that he can still remember...now.

Mojique holds a package in his quivering handsMojique sends the package to the american manSoftly he glides along the streets and alleysUp comes the wind that makes them run for coverHe feels the time is surely now or never...more.

The wind in my heartThe wind in my heartThe dust in my headThe dust in my headThe wind in my heartThe wind in my heartDrive them awayDrive them awayMojique buys equipment in the market placeMojique plants devices in the free trade zoneHe feels the wind is lifting up his peopleHe calls the wind to guide him on his missionHe knows his friend the wind is always standing...by.

Mojique smells the wind that comes from far awayMojique waits for news in a quiet placeHe feels the presence of the wind around himHe feels the power of the past behind himHe has the knowledge of the wind to guide him...on.

The wind in my heartThe wind in my heartThe dust in my headThe dust in my headThe wind in my heartThe wind in my heartDrive them awayDrive them away.

07. Golden Age

In this Golden age on a holy lakeAll the waves, even wild, we’re climbingAnd we do it a dozen times

And I’m starting, my boat’s comingA credo for my leavingAll the harmless reason goneAll the time we were as oneWe were heathens all the nightAnd our star has come down nearEver and evermore

In this Golden age on a holy lake

Whenever I stay and I partly take the distant roadBut at other times I’m nearWhen I’m miles awayAnd I remember youAnd I see your pure and white skinWhen a light turns to shade down belowThis love is from my heart

Never thought, never thoughtAnother go, another go

And I’m departing, my time’s comingWhatever hides my dreamingAll the faithful on the runAll the life that seems unbornWe are hunters all the nightAnd the sky as far as nearEver and evermore

Whenever I stay and I partly take a different road

But at other times I’m nearWhen I’m miles awayWhenever I stay and I partly take the distant roadBut at other times I’m nearWhen I’m miles awayAnd I remember youAnd I see your pure and white skinWhen a light turns to shade down belowThis love is from my heart

Never thought, never thoughtAnother go, another go

Whenever I stay and I partly take the distant roadBut at other times I’m nearWhen I’m miles awayThis love is from my heart

10. Kingdoms of Cancer

And we leave all these kingsAnd these kingdoms of cancerAnd we leave all these fightsThese fights full of angerAnd we leave all this nowAnd we leave all this nowAnd we all stand up nowAnd we hear and we see

And we leave all these teachersThey teach us no answersAnd we leave all these priestsThe priests are all fightingAnd we leave all this nowAnd we all stand up nowAnd we hear and we cryAnd we leave all these liarsAnd we leave all these mothersThey shattered our dreamingAnd we leave all these fathersThey can’t hear us cryingAnd we leave all these soldiersThey’ve forgotten good prayersAnd we leave all these prophetsAnd their wishful unsaying

And I cry out in this mudAnd I fear it in the nightAnd I look up in this allAnd I feed on this painAnd I read all these signs I seeEvery time I’m being seenAching and hopingNo secrets to hide

And I’m counting all these fires on the sea

And this cold and dark rain I can seeAnd this loving is coming downAnd I see this light is here

And we leave all these kingsAnd these kingdoms of cancerAnd we leave all these fightsThese fights full of angerAnd we leave all this nowAnd we all stand up nowAnd we hear it and we see it inAnd look up to the starsAnd we leave all these teachersThey teach us no answersAnd we leave all these fearsThese ships without anchorsAnd we leave all this nowAnd we all stand up nowAnd we break down these wallsThan it’s coming, it’s coming

And I’m counting all these fires on the seaAnd this cold and dark rain I can seeAnd this loving is coming downAnd I see this light is here

13. Stairs

I walk through this forgotten landI see the stairs to your GodAnd a hundred ways to argueAnd a hundred ways to griefThere is one way to seeWe’re running out of time now

I keep the dream of peace in a changing worldI walk along the silent gardenBut I’m not quiet againWhen the people are sayingThere’s no answerThere’s no tomorrow

And you call me a dreamerAnd you call me a creepAnd you wait for forgivenessAnd you wait in the cold

One last song in my headI keep the sound in mind, my writingI say this several timesYou see no longer these wondersYou feel the seed of all times – no moreYou’d never take the blameAnd you’d do it all the sameNever would you hang your head in shameYou’d never speak it loudYou’d rather lie your way outBut he won’t forget about itNever

And you call me a dreamerAnd you call me a creepAnd you wait for forgivenessAnd you wait in the cold

14. Obscura

You are the voice of a dream I had at nightYou are the child and I see your princess crown as sadWhen all the walls break down the rain - another waiting onWhen hour by hour I see your palace in a native sun

When in this night the light and the secret of your fallAnd all these hands around, all these empty hands of a liarYou are still wise and you dream and you feel it all comes badLook in the eye of a storm, I want that port back

Where is the shining and dreaming of a far old fireWhere is the isle that you knowWhere is the isle that I know

Where is the night I’m longing forWhere is the highness, see us nakedWhere is the light that made us shineWhere is the life we will be leading

You are the noise in my dream I had at nightYou are the bride and I wind the clock, turn it backWhen all the walls break down the pain - another waiting onWhen hour by hour I see your face in a native sun

When in this night the right and the secret of your callAnd all this land around, all this empty land of desireYour eyes still bright and you dream and you feel it all comes badLook in the eye of a storm, don’t fear the storm’s head

And all the shining and dreaming of a far old fireReaching the isle that you knowReaching the isle that I know

Where is the night I’m longing forWhere is the highness, see us nakedWhere is the light that made us shineWhere is the life we will be leading

15. Last Words

I tell you my secretCaptive and son, my guard is comingI played with this poisonOut of the lightThere's no one around

No answers - time to close my eyesNo less than time - the time is wiseNo one who stops it, my breathing's growingI lose my life

I break this silenceCaptive and son, captive and hunterIt brings me down and I've been disgracedSee all these problemsSee all these problems

I lose my control and I don't know whyI see these pictures they're fading slowlyI lose my faith but I'm holding on

Here I go again nowHere I go - here I goHere I go all this night - here I go

I hear you're whispering, your voice is forever in my mind And I knowI see these colours I'm ablazed withStained by the peopleStained and I seePainted black, painted white, painted so brightAll those drawings of my lifeNow I'm prepared and my credence so farI know you forgot my name years ago
